Dear Matuse Family,

sending greetings from Italy along with a few photos and words to give you a feel for what Jason Baffa and I have been working on in Italy for the last few months.

Bella Vita is a film centered around the Italian surf culture and the magic that surrounds this boot shaped land. Over the last 15 years I have been traveling the globe in search of waves, inspiration and adventure. As I’ve aged and experienced life’s ups and downs, it has become clear that one’s friends, family and roots should be kept in high priority. I’ve dreamt of a time where I could reconnect with my childhood years spent in Italy and adventure through new zones in hopes of discovering waves and the characters that ride them.

Over the last few months our group has experienced amazing Italian hospitality, age old creations and some really fun surf. Dave Rastovich and Lauren Hill have been with us for the last month. As they prepare to leave the Coffin brothers are about to embark on their first trip through their blood lines. It is a great honor to have Jason Baffa and team helping to capture and tell this story on classic 35mm film.

– Aloha, Chris 111

If you ever decide to go to Alaska to surf Scott Dickerson is the man. He’s connected and knows where all the surf is. Whether it’s by truck, boat, plane or chopper he can get you there. On a recent trip Scott used Chugach Powder Guides to get him and his crew to a remote glacier a-frame beach break. Taking it to the next level, the guys used the Hooded Tumo 654mm fullsuit to stay toasty in the near freezing temperatures.
